Death-dealing systems
From legalistic judgement-types, without compassion:
Deliver us, merciful God.
From greedy deceptions, depriving others of truth and goodness:
Deliver us, merciful God.
From bullies who dehumanize, who disrespect your holy imaging:
Deliver us, merciful God.
From killers of beauty and those who rape Mother Earth:
Deliver us, merciful God.
From haters and corrupters, disregarding decency and generosity:
Deliver us, merciful God.
From evil, masked in smiles and cloaked in false promises:
Deliver us, merciful God.
Grant us the Wisdom of your Spirit,
to live into kindness, insight, integrity, encouragement,
fruitfulness, truth-sharing and true love.
May we learn to turn from the darkness and glow with your light.
Amen
